Depression Therapists in Stanardsville, VA

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist who specializes in treating children, young adults, and adults using an approach that integrates classic and modern psychodynamic theory with contemporary approaches including family systems, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness-based treatment. Therapy can be an invaluable part of helping individuals to overcome life's challenges. Whether our struggle is related to life transitions, loss, trauma or interpersonal difficulties, painful feelings commonly arise such as depression and anxiety. My goal is to provide a therapeutic environment and a collaborative partnership to individuals that seek relief from these painful symptoms and hope to achieve growth and positive change in their lives.

At times life seems overwhelming and out of control. Do you feel stuck, unsure of yourself and/or your situation, do you wish to have your life be different, is this the vision you had for yourself, your relationship, or your family. I am here to help, you are not alone. Let’s work together to bring the change you desire. I believe that honesty, trust and respect are necessary to establish a strong therapeutic alliance. I am committed to facilitating an environment of acceptance, hope, and encouragement. I'm currently accepting new clients with limited availability to include evening hours.

Are you struggling with treatment resistant depression, anxiety, or complex PTSD? You may have tried different therapists, therapy approaches, and medications, which allowed you to sometimes experience improvement to then have serious symptoms return. Or maybe you've never really had any significant relief and find yourself stuck in loops of avoidance, withdrawal, isolation, low mood, not enjoying anything, hyper arousal, disrupted sleep, panic, and struggling to connect with others. Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy may help you to make significant gains and maintain improvement longer.
